“Endless OS comes with valuable pre-loaded content that can be accessed without an internet connection, and is designed to optimize internet consumption during downloads and updates despite poor internet connection,” Endless Computers wrote in an official statement.
The system is also said to be able to support Steam, a gaming platform by Valve Corporation that offers access to more than 1,800 games, such as Dota 2 and Team Fortress 2.
Aside from being available for free download on its official website, Endless OS is also pre-installed and available in Asus and Acer laptops. (mas/kes)
